After more than two hours of a movie that has subverted your expectations with slapstick humor, characters who fail, and a destruction of your most well thought out theories, it all plays out on screen. Our erstwhile Rebel hero, the one who helped turn the (second) most evil man in the galaxy back to the […]
The Baggpod 5/1/2013: How The King Was Slain Part 2
In part 2 Alain talks up Iron Man 3 without spoiling a single drop, before he and Baggs really delve deep into this week’s Mad Men episode, “The Flood.”
The Baggpod 5/1/2013: How The King Was Slain Part 1
Baggs, JoeDog, and JimmyTV discuss the fifth episode of season three of Game of Thrones “Kissed By Fire,” all very much enjoying the Hound vs. Beric and Jamie’s bath with Brienne (aside from the last 20 seconds).

People Don’t Change*, A Farewell to House
The final episode has aired of Fox’s House, M.D. (known simply as House) on Monday May 21st, 2012. As with most non-wine or cheese related things, House’s final seasons weren’t its best.
